BAKING APPARATUS.

To rill 11:11.02);- it may concern:

lie it known that I, Josnru Craarrauraa, a subject of the King of Italy, residing at 40; East Walnut street, in the city of Louisville, county of Jefferson, and State of Kentucky, have invented new and useful 1mprovements in Baking Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

This invention consists of novel apparatus for baking cones, or coronets, in w iich to dispense ice-cream or similar substances. in apparatus of this character the articles, being cooked, at times stick to one portion or the other of the molds, and time is lost in separating them therefrom, and some loss occasioned by breakage of the articles during removal from the molds.

An object of this invention is to provide apparatus from which the cooked articles may be removed with a minimum of loss and waste.

A further object is to provide apparatus that will be economical of construction, and easy of mani nilation.

To this one my invention consists of the novel arrangement of parts hereinafter set forth and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, that forms a part of this specification, in which like reference characters indicate like parts in the different views.

.liei'errin now to that embodiment of my invention illustrated in the drawing, Figure 1 is a side view, and Fig. 2 a plan of the apparatus when closed. Fig. 3 is a plan of the apparatus opened. F g. 4; a transverse section on line m-w of Fig. 2. l ig. 5 is a plan of the matrix plate, and Fig. (3 a plan of one of the stripper-plates.

The apparatus consists of a matrix-plate ----l--- and a core-plate -2, each of which is irovided with a pair of arms 3, 3 am -l, "lres iectively, )rojecting from its rear edge and connected by the pintles ---5---, and each is provided with a iandle llprojecting from its opposite edge. The plate 1 is provided with a plurality of matrices T--, the upper plate 2 is provided with a plurality of cores 8, the cores being adapted to fit in the matrices, with a small space between them. When the plates are closed and the faces thereof brought close together, the tops of the matrices are raised above the face of the plate 1 and are provided with beveled ed es -i)-. A stripper-plate 10 is (provided having apertures 11- adapte to fit Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 752,684.

around and about the tops of the matrices 7, coming flush with the tops thereof. lrojecting from the rear edge of the plate in are two arms l2, 12- that are connected to the pintles 5, and a handle -13 extends from the forward edge thereof. A similar stripper-plate -l-ll-- is disposed about the base of the cores 8, and is provided with arms 15 connected to the pintles 5, and with a handle ](S extending from the front ed e thereof. A fastening -lT--, secured on the handle 16 is adapted to enga e with the handle (3 of the plate .2, in or er that the stripper-plate l-i may be raised and lowered in unison with the coreplate.

The operation of my apparatus may now be understood. The upper, or core-plate is raised, as shown in Fig. 3, the dough or batter, which is of the consistency of a thick fluid, is oured from a container, that may be provi ed with one or more spouts for depositing the required quantity, either successively or simultaneously in each of the matrices or molds 7. The plates are then closed, the cone, or coronet, being formed by the batter being pressed into the space between thecore and the matrix. The apparatus is then subjected to a suitable degree of heat, from any desirable, or availabi e, source. It is not possible to place in the molds the exact amount of butter necessary to fill the space between them and the cores, and a quantity will spread over the face of the molds and the top of the stripper-plate forming a sheet that unites the cones, in the various molds, into one body. \Vhen the dough is properly baked the source of heat is removed and the upper or core-plate raised, and with it the stripper- )late 14. If now it is found that the cones HLVO remained in the matrices they can readily be removed therefrom by raising the stripper-plate 10, the bars lb thereof acting against t 10 sheet of material connecting the cones. If on the other hand the cones have stuck to the cores, by releasing the fastening 17, the strhper-plate 14 may be brought forward and the bars 18 pressing against the sheet of material connecting the cones will strip the cones off of the cores.

Having thus described my invention so that any one versed in the art pertaining thereto may make and use the same, I claim;

1. A baking apparatus comprising a matrix-plate, a core-plate and stripper plates disposed on the aforesaid plates, hinge arms on the rear of and in proximity to each endol each of said plates, said arms extending in parallel planes, those adjacent the respective ends being connected by a common pivot pin.

2. A baking apparatus comprising a xnatrix-plate, a core-plate a stripper-plate disposed on each of the aforesaid plates, hinge arms on the rear of and in proximity to each end of each of said plates, said arms extending in parallel planes, those adjacent the respective ends being connected by a common pivot pin, handles extending forward from each of said plates, said coreplatc and associated stripper-plane adapted to be raised separately or in unison.

3. A. baking apparatus of the character described, amatrix and a core-plate in hinged relationship, a stripper-plate associated with each of said plates and hinged coineidently therewith in such relationship thereto that either stripper-plate may he separated from its associated plate.
